    it's pretty simple. go to the hardware store and pick up a Chilton's manual if you haven't already.
    it will guide you through the process with step by step instructions and pictures.

    just make sure when you do it, you clean off the surface really well. if you have any questions, just post them or call one of us. Don't call me, cause there's no service in Iraq :)

    Let me know when you plan on doing it I can help ya out...it's pretty easy. Plus unless you are gonna get a Cometic HP Head Gasket I've got a couple extra HGs laying around the garage. They are meant for 6bolts but I think (key word "think" not know) the HG will work. you can reach me on AIM: Selloutpunk182
    The 2.4 is done....Now just need to tune the shit out of it

    Wow this could go real bad, so you have the 2.4l or 2.0l engine?
    MAKE SURE ABOVE ALL YOU HAVE YOUR T-BELT SET UP RIGHT!
    If you want I have a bunch of factory service manuals here at the shop and I can make you some copies.
